Astrology – Map of the Planets: Venus Direct on September 9, 2007

Venus direct - Paris and Helen

Venus will turn direct in Leo on September 9th, 2007. Venus has been retrograde through early Virgo and much of Leo since July 28, 2007. Venus does not go retrograde as often as Mercury, so people are often nervous about the period of Venus’s retrogradation, as it is something slightly more special than Mercury.

Of course, the world’s relationships did not all come to an end during this time, though if you were electing a time to do something Venus-related, such as romance or sex, having Venus retrograde would be suboptimal. Again, lots of people throughout the world get married with Venus retrograde, and I doubt all those marriages are unhappy or come to an end. But if we are trying to find the best moment for marriage, for example, we want to make sure that you have as many of the planets on your side as possible.

This brings up an important point about electional astrology (the art of finding the right moment, astrologically, to do something). If we are trying to find an auspicious astrological moment for the marriage of two fundamentally incompatible people, there is no astrological moment that will make them be happy together. It would not matter if Venus was a direct, in its exaltation, and right at the top of the chart. The natal horoscopes would likely indicate that the people were about to make a mistake in marriage. This is why it is so important to look at the natal horoscope for electing an auspicious moment; unless something is promised in the natal chart, electional astrology cannot make it so. However, it can give you the best possible start, which will make the difference between success and failure.

    Hi, Nina: So, if you have a terrible natal horoscope in terms of love, does that mean that you can never be happily united with someone? That’s so sad.

    Hi Eme,

    In theory, yes, though such horoscopes are luckily pretty rare. Far more common are the charts that show the person choosing the same unsuitable type over and over.

    Hi Robyn,

    Someone once told me that with Aries, you have to let them chase you until you catch them! :)
    The “promise” of a natal chart is found through an analysis of the natal horoscope. So, you can only elect the right moment to buy your winning lottery ticket if you have the natal chart of a lottery winner.

    PS: Magi astrology. I looked into it a few years ago, and it was pretty inaccurate in my experience.

    Thanks, Nina. So there’s hope to find the right person if one stops choosing the wrong type, aka, reenacting the same scenario. That makes me feel better.

    Smooch!

    Hi Robyn,

    Found your blog recently, and it became one of my favorite’s sources of astrology info. I´m studding astrology for a couple of years now and putting together a personal library… So I congratulate you for your serious work.

    Oh, about your new post, this period of Venus retrograde… I could really feel the difference. You are forced to be conscious of your role in your relationships, your fantasies, think about matters of control, happiness, images that you relate with romance. I can say that I now myself a little more now.

    Hi Louise,

    Were you talking to me? I’m Nina (but if Robyn’s got a cool astro-blog, please let us all know!). Venus rx is interesting. Some people feel the planets going retrograde more than others - probably has to do with the strength or weakness of that planet in your chart natally. Thanks for visiting; I really appreciate it.

    Nina: On another board we were dabbling at horary and someone posted that it’s not a good time to pose a horary question during an eclipse. What are your thoughts on this? Is an eclipse horary invalid?
